Select Condition 
Book Overview
Mr. Berman gives a many-sided interpretation of the Soviet legal system in theory and in practice. He presents a threefold explanation of the development of Soviet law, rooted first in the requirements of a socialist planned economy, second in the heritage of the Russian past, and third in the Soviet 'parental' concept of a man as a youth to be educated and disciplined. He compares and contrasts socialist law with capitalist law, the Russian heritage with the Western legal tradition of the past 900 years, the Soviet concept of man with that which is implicit in our own legal system.

An Interesting Approach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Professor Berman has taken an extraordinarily brilliant approach to reviewing Soviet law and legal systems. He sets forth the hypothesis that Soviet law's function is one of a parental role- teaching, the Soviet citizen, as would both a father and mother, the proper way to conduct one's private and public life in a socialist society. This book is a must read for any one with an interest in Soviet law and politics (and more importantly anyone interested in the the problem of from whence sovereignty derives in the soviet system).
